The Alecto DBX110 baby monitor is a wireless communication system designed to allow parents to monitor their baby from a distance. It consists of two main units: a baby unit (transmitter) and a parent unit (receiver). The system is designed for indoor use and offers both standard and "Full Eco" modes for power efficiency.
Function Description:
The primary function of the Alecto DBX110 is to transmit audio from the baby's room to the parent's location, enabling parents to hear their baby. The system utilizes a digital wireless connection within the 1880-1900 MHz frequency range.
- Baby Unit (Transmitter): This unit is placed near the baby and is equipped with a microphone to pick up sounds from the baby's environment. It transmits these sounds wirelessly to the parent unit. The baby unit can be powered by a rechargeable NiMH AAA battery or directly via the supplied power adapter.
- Parent Unit (Receiver): This unit is carried by the parent and receives the audio transmission from the baby unit. It features a speaker to output the sounds and indicators for various statuses. The parent unit also uses a rechargeable NiMH AAA battery or can be powered by its dedicated adapter.
- Two-Way Communication (Limited): While primarily a one-way audio monitor, the parent unit can activate a "beep" function on the baby unit, which might serve as a basic alert or locator.
- Range Monitoring: The device indicates when it is out of range, ensuring parents are aware if the connection is lost.
- Power Modes: The monitor offers a "Full Eco" mode, which likely reduces power consumption and potentially transmission power when the baby unit detects no sound, extending battery life and minimizing electromagnetic exposure.
- Battery Status Indicators: Both units feature indicators to show battery charge levels.
- Sound Level Indicators: The parent unit typically includes visual indicators (e.g., LEDs) to show the intensity of the sound detected by the baby unit, even if the volume is low or muted.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Frequency Range: 1880-1900 MHz. This is a common DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) frequency band, known for its clear audio and secure connection.
- Maximum Power: < 24 dBm. This indicates the maximum transmission power of the device, ensuring it complies with regulatory limits for radio equipment.
- Power Adapter Input: 100-240VAC~, 50/60Hz, 150mA. This universal input allows the adapter to be used in various regions.
- Power Adapter Output: 6V DC, 450mA. This is the specific power required by the units when connected to the mains.
- Rechargeable Battery Type: NiMH AAA, 400mAh, 1.2V. Both units utilize these standard rechargeable batteries. The specified capacity (400mAh) determines the battery life between charges.
- Maximum Range:
- Indoor: max. 50 m (approximately 164 feet).
- Outdoor: max. 300 m (approximately 984 feet).
- These ranges are typical for DECT devices and can vary based on obstacles and interference.
- Power Adapter Manufacturer: Vtech Telecommunications LTD.
- Power Adapter Efficiency:
- Average active efficiency: 74.9%
- Efficiency at low 10% load: Not specified, but generally good for modern adapters.
- No load Power consumption: 0.03 W. This is a very low standby power consumption, indicating energy efficiency.
Usage Features:
- Initial Setup:
- Charging: Before first use, the rechargeable NiMH AAA batteries must be inserted into both the baby and parent units and fully charged using the supplied power adapters. The manual indicates a charging time of approximately 6 hours.
- Power Connection: Connect the power adapters to the respective units and plug them into a wall socket. The socket-outlet should be installed near the equipment and easily accessible.
- Powering On/Off:
- To turn on or off, press and hold the power button (often marked with a circle and a vertical line) for approximately 3 seconds on both units.
- An indicator light (e.g., green LED) will confirm the unit is powered on.
- Placement:
- Place the baby unit within 1 meter of the baby, ensuring it is out of reach of the child.
- The parent unit can be carried by the parent within the specified range.
- Range Monitoring:
- The parent unit will indicate when it is out of range (e.g., with a specific icon or sound), prompting the user to move closer to the baby unit.
- Full Eco Mode:
- The manual illustrates a "Full Eco" mode, which can likely be activated to conserve battery power. In this mode, the baby unit might only transmit when sound is detected, reducing continuous radiation.
- Sound Activation/Beep:
- The parent unit has a button (often with a speaker icon) that can activate a "beep" sound on the baby unit, potentially for locating the parent unit or as a simple alert.
- Volume Control:
- While not explicitly detailed, most baby monitors have volume controls on the parent unit to adjust the loudness of the received audio.
Maintenance Features:
- Battery Replacement:
- Only use the specified rechargeable NiMH AAA 400mAh 1.2V batteries (e.g., CORUN, Ni-MHAAAJ400).
- Caution: Replacing the battery with an incorrect type carries a risk of explosion.
- Dispose of used batteries according to local instructions and regulations.
- Cleaning:
- The manual does not explicitly detail cleaning instructions, but generally, electronic devices should be cleaned with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Adapter Usage:
- Only use the supplied power adapters (Model: S003ATV0600045). Using unauthorized adapters could damage the device or pose a safety risk.
- Declaration of Conformity:
- The device complies with directive 2014/53/EU, indicating it meets essential health and safety requirements, electromagnetic compatibility, and efficient use of the radio spectrum. The full declaration of conformity is available online.
In summary, the Alecto DBX110 is a reliable and energy-efficient digital baby monitor designed for ease of use and peace of mind, offering essential audio monitoring capabilities within a secure wireless environment.
